Participate in the next Strategic Plan Environmental Scan Webinar
by Joke Braeken Nov. 9, 2023

Nov. 9, 2023

https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/participate-in-the-next-stra… In September, the ICANN Board launched the strategic planning process for fiscal years 2026–2030, an important step in shaping the future of ICANN. ICANN's strategic planning process is designed to be highly inclusive, with participation from across the ICANN ecosystem and beyond. The process will result in a new five-year ICANN Strategic Plan<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/strategic-engagement-2013-10-10-en>. The first phase of this process involves identifying external opportunities and threats, and internal strengths and weaknesses, that will inform the Board's strategy formulation. This phase is known as an environmental scan. ICANN held a hybrid community environmental scan session at ICANN78, which allowed participants to provide their input in person or online. If you missed this session at ICANN78, there is one more opportunity to get involved. Session Date and Time: 16 November 2023 at 16:00 UTC This session will be held via Zoom and in English. Please register<https://icann.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwvdO6ppzojG9H22G0llTCBuBrZT_XChg4J…>. This will be the last session of the environmental scan phase in our strategic planning process. For a list of factors to consider and examples to kick-start your thinking, please read the session briefing paper<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/183993085/Briefing%20paper…>, and visit the community workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/FY26-30+Strategic+Plan+D…> for more information on the process and to stay up to date on how to get involved. ICANN would like to thank everyone who has participated in this initial phase of the strategic planning process. Your input is invaluable to the future of ICANN. We look forward to continued involvement from the community as we progress through the development of the FY26-FY30 Strategic Plan.

Dear Councillors As you may recall we, Biyi, Jordan and I, were tasked to select two candidates for the ICANN’s leadership program. I want to inform you that due to potential conflict of interest Jordan will not participate in the selection process, and we have asked Sean to step in as he participated last year in this program. If you have any questions, please reach out to any of us. Best regards, Alejandra ******************************************* Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt.

Approval Action Fundamental Bylaw change relating to the IFR and SIFR
by Bart Boswinkel Nov. 7, 2023

Nov. 7, 2023

Dear all, As you will recall on 10 September 2023 the ICANN Board approved Fundamental Bylaws Amendments to Articles 18 and 19 of the ICANN Bylaws, which relate to the IANA Function Review (Article 18) and Special IANA Function Review (Article 19). Further the Empowered Community Administration organized a Community Forum during ICANN78 in Hamburg on 26 October 2023. According to the ICANN Bylaws Annex D, each Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee will determine their position with respect to the Bylaw change, according to its own rules and procedures (see: https://ccnso.icann.org/about/guideline-approval-actions-procedure-17oct19-…) within 21 days of its conclusion of the Approval Action Community Forum Period, so by 16 November 2023, To meet the deadline you are kindly requested to raise questions or objections to the following resolution by Monday 13 November 2023, 23.59 UTC. If no questions or objections to the resolution is deemed to have passed (of course and as always you are also invited to express your support). Please use the Council list to express your views. Draft Resolution Decision - Taking into account the manner in which the issues and concerns that were raised by the ccNSO Council in its input on the proposed changes to Articles 18 and 19 of the ICANN Bylaws, which relate to the IANA Function Review (Article 18) and Special IANA Function Review (Article 19) were addressed. Also taking into account no comments or other feed-back was receveid form the ccTLD community and finally taking into account the outcome of the Community Forum dated 26 October 2023 on aforementioned Bylaw changes, the ccNSO Council - as mandated through Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws and through its own rules and procedures ( https://ccnso.icann.org/about/guideline-approval-actions-procedure-17oct19-… ) - supports the proposed changes to Article 18 and 19. The Secretariat is requested to publish this resolution upon adoption and the chair of the ccNSO Council is requested to inform the ECA accordingly as soon as possible after adoption of this resolution. Background The Board Decision The resolution approving the Fundamental Bylaws Amendments is available at: https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…. The proposed Bylaw changes were published for public comment, and the ccNSO Council provided input, which was taken into account and is mostly reflected in the proposed Bylaw changes. The announcement and background materials and ccNSO Council submission may be found at https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/iana-naming-function-rev… WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO THE ccNSO? First of all because this proposed Bylaw change is about changes to IANA Naming Function Review and the IANA Naming Function, which are both core to ccTLDs. Secondly, the proposed Bylaw change is a change of a Fundamental Bylaw, and the ccNSO Council has to decide whether to : (a) support the proposal, (b) object to the proposal, or (c) have no opinion on the proposal. Kind regards, Bart
